Spoon then let a little bit slip about what it was doing to make the hybrid coupe a little more engaging, but those were merely words. Now we have what is said to be track footage of Japanese tuner <a href=\"http:\/\/www.club-miniban.com\/e_new_hyousi.htm\">Noblesse<\/a> in one of their tuned CR-Zs at Suzuka, and it might put people in a mind to at least reserve judgment. <\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s all in-car video, and yes, Noblesse is primarily known for their bodykit work, not for actual performance parts. All which makes this footage a little tough to gauge, but there were moments when we did find ourselves thinking, &#8220;Hey, this could be something.&#8221; And yes, we will only accept fully blacked-out CR-Zs from now on. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/10\/noblesse-takes-honda-cr-z-to-suzuka-for-testing-w-video\/#continued\">Follow the jump<\/a> for some Suzuka lapping, and have a look at it in the gallery of high-res photos below. <em>Thanks for the tip and images, Chris!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"postgallery\">\n<p><strong>Gallery: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\">Honda CR-Z tuned by Noblesse at Suzuka<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/01noblessecrzsuz_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/02noblessecrzsuz_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/03noblessecrzsuz_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/04noblessecrzsuz_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/photos\/honda-cr-z-tuned-by-noblesse-at-suzuka\/low\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.blogcdn.com\/www.autoblog.com\/media\/2010\/03\/05noblessecrzsuz_thumbnail.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\n[Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/sixsylinder.blogspot.com\/2010\/03\/noblesse-cr-z-on-track-at-suzuka.html\">Six Sylinder<\/a>]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/10\/noblesse-takes-tuned-honda-cr-z-to-suzuka-for-testing-w-video\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Spy Shots: Noblesse takes tuned Honda CR-Z to Suzuka for testing [w\/video]<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/03\/10\/noblesse-takes-tuned-honda-cr-z-to-suzuka-for-testing-w-video\/\">Spy Shots: Noblesse takes tuned Honda CR-Z to Suzuka for testing [w\/video]<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Wed, 10 Mar 2010 12:31:00 EST.
